Culinary decoration refers to the art of enhancing the visual appeal of food through various techniques and materials. This practice can involve the use of garnishes, sauces, and edible flowers to create an attractive presentation. Chefs often focus on color, texture, and arrangement to make dishes more inviting and enjoyable. Common methods of culinary decoration include plating techniques, where food is arranged artistically on a plate, and the use of tools like squeeze bottles for sauces. Additionally, items such as herbs, microgreens, and spices can be used to add both flavor and aesthetic value to a dish.
